OK. The steps were: (I have a German version but try to translate. If I
am unsure I write the German word)
1. delete all the printers
2. "verwaltung" - add printer
3. Name HPLaser
4. Continue
5. Device LPT #1
6. as modell choosed HP LaserJet PCL 6 CUPS(en)
7. klicked add printer and logged in as root
8. Message that printer was added succesfull
9. klicked on printer and printed a test page.
10. seeing that only senseless things are printed.
This is what I have done. If you want to have any logfiles, just ask.
